When your Personally Identifying Information is collected, you will know because you will be required to fill out a form.

The information is collected through technology to make the MyMacs.ca site more useful and interesting for you. None of that information identifies you personally and we usually will not combine the information collected through technology with your Personal Information. We may combine this technology information with your personal information to identify a user in order to enforce compliance with rules or service terms to protect our service(s), Members, Guests, site(s) or others.
